To get started, you’ll first create a
data pattern that specifies the information types and fields that
you want the firewall to filter. Then, you attach that pattern to
a data filtering profile, which specifies how you want to enforce
the content that the firewall filters. Add the data filtering profile
to a security policy rule to start filtering traffic matching the
rule.
DLP profiles are active only when they are attached to a security
policy rule; they scan traffic that matches the rule. If a user
uploads a file that matches a data pattern, an alert is triggered
or the file is blocked (depending on the action you define in the
DLP profile).
